Best chessbooks for beginners

Hello everybody

Recently I started playing chess 'more seriously'. 

But now I am wondering what the best chess books would be for a beginner of my level. Im not a total beginner, I play against the computer at 1800 elo and doing fairly well. 

All recommendations are welcome! Have a good week.

Greetings 

I am sure someone will give you their recommendations, I will however give you 2 links where 2 international masters answer your question:

Good Chess Books For Beginners and Beyond...

Does anyone has experience with "Logical chess: move by move" by Chernev? 

I have also heard about the woodpecker method, any experiences with this are welcome too! 

Seirawan's winning chess strategies would be good choice. Irving Chernev's "Logical Chess: Move by move" is a really helpful book.

Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual and Analytical Manual are really important as well. Also check out How to reassess your chess 4th Edition by Silman.

Thank you! I will check these out for sure! 

As far as I've heard, Dvoretsky's book is too hard for intermediate players. Other mentioned books are probably more friendly towards us weaker players (at least that is what everyone was saying).

Mostly mentioned as prerequisite to Dvoretsky's Endgame manual are:

100 Endgames You Must Know - Jesus De La Villa
Complete Endgame Course Jeremy Silman
Endgame Strategy - Shereshevsky

I have no experience about this though, I've just repeated what I've heard on youtube or what I've read somewhere.

Logical chess move by move by Chernev

The most instructive games of chess ever played by Chernev

modern chess strategy by Pachman

The basis of combination in chess by DuMont

Chess Endings Essential knowledge by Averbakh

How important is it to have committed to memory the coordinates of the chess board?  I haven't done this yet, but it seems like a barrier to entry to chess texts.  

I would say this is very important if you plan to play over games in books and magazines. You should use the vision tool until you can instantly look at a square and say, "f6/c3," depending on which side of the board you're playing from. Also, as a previous poster has pointed out, learning descriptive notation is helpful if you plan to read older books such as "500 Master Games of Chess." However, descriptive is not all THAT  important any more. And it goes without saying that you MUST master this if you plan to play in OTB tournaments--recording the game is impossible without this vision.

Without knowing your playing strength, giving you recommendations is almost impossible. And telling us "doing fairly well with the 1800 rated computer" means less than nothing

I have often recommended "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess" by Patrick Wolff. It's a fine introductory volume that covers all aspects of the game, and it has enough diagrams in it that it can be read easily without setting up a chessboard.  All the other books mentioned above are also fine, but instead of "How to Reassess Your Chess" by Silman, I would suggest his "simpler' volume of "The Amateur's Mind" first.
